Chapter 17 Configuring STP
Configuring Spanning-Tree Features
Note
If your switch is a member of a switch stack, you must use the spanning-tree [vlan vlan-id] cost cost
interface configuration command instead of the spanning-tree [vlan vlan-id] port-priority priority
interface configuration command to select an interface to put in the forwarding state. Assign lower cost
values to interfaces that you want selected first and higher cost values that you want selected last. For
more information, see the
“Configuring Path Cost” section on page 17-20
.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure the port priority of an interface.
This procedure is optional.
Note
The show spanning-tree interface interface-id privileged EXEC command displays information only
if the port is in a link-up operative state. Otherwise, you can use the show running-config interface
privileged EXEC command to confirm the configuration.
Command
Purpose
Step 1
configure terminal
Enter global configuration mode.
Step 2
interface interface-id
Specify an interface to configure, and enter interface
configuration mode.
Valid interfaces include physical ports and port-channel
logical interfaces (port-channel port-channel-number).
Step 3
spanning-tree port-priority priority
Configure the port priority for an interface.
For priority, the range is 0 to 240, in increments of 16; the
default is 128. Valid values are 0, 16, 32, 48, 64, 80, 96,
112, 128, 144, 160, 176, 192, 208, 224, and 240. All other
values are rejected. The lower the number, the higher the
priority.
Step 4
spanning-tree vlan vlan-id port-priority priority
Configure the port priority for a VLAN.
•
For vlan-id, you can specify a single VLAN identified
by VLAN ID number, a range of VLANs separated by
a hyphen, or a series of VLANs separated by a comma.
The range is 1 to 4094.
•
For priority, the range is 0 to 240, in increments of 16;
the default is 128. Valid values are 0, 16, 32, 48, 64, 80,
96, 112, 128, 144, 160, 176, 192, 208, 224, and 240.
All other values are rejected. The lower the number,
the higher the priority.
Step 5
end
Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 6
show spanning-tree interface interface-id
or
show spanning-tree vlan vlan-id
Verify your entries.
Step 7
copy running-config startup-config
(Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
